Hi! I have been investigating whether "John Young" was born in Lancaster England or was part of the Cape Cod Young family. Please see http://capecodhistory.us/genealogy/family/f623.html#f527

Although the Cape Cod Young family claims that John Young is actually David Young son of Jonathan and Rebecca 6 M David Young 71

           AKA: John Young
          Born: 2 Feb 1759 - Billingsgate (Eastham), Massachusetts 71
      Baptized: 
          Died: Dec 1835 - Hawaii 78
        Buried: 

        Spouse: Joanna Walker (Est 1762-      )
          Marr: Est 1780

(see link). He also appears to have had a family on Provincetown in Cape Cod, so I think the connection is less likely. I think that maybe John Young was actually Jonathan Young son of Jonathan and Rebecca 2 M Jonathan Young 71

          Born: 5 Aug 1752 - Billingsgate (Eastham), Massachusetts 71
      Baptized: 
          Died: 
        Buried: 

This puts him as the right age to be a companion to Issac Davis and also makes sense why he would send his children to school in Boston.

Jonathan or David's sister was Rebecca Harding Young who married Dr. John Young in 1776. Dr. John Young was late of Lewes in England. For whatever reason, when the Endeavor shipped out - -it may have been politic to be from "England".

Dr. John Young died in 1820 in Quincy Ma. and his wife Rebecca Harding Young lived out her following years in Maine. (It was her daughter Pamela aka Parmelia that moved to Chicago and claimed to be a niece of John Young of Hawaii. I do have a picture from 1870? of the family (Abner Young son of Dr. John Young) by their house in Maine. Would you like to see that to see if there is any resemblance?

Hope all is well and best regards,

British or American?

He was born in England and identified as "British" by most sources, but was on an American ship. It might be interesting to hear how and when he got across the Atlantic. For example, what he did during the American revolutionary war. Expecially given his son died in the war of 1812 on the American side. W Nowicki (talk) 18:19, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I think he being a British cannot be questioned. I not sure if he called himself a British but most source even primary sources like George Vancouver and Hiram Bingham calls him British. His tombestone point out his birthplace. As for his allegiance I don't really know but in the end he became Hawaiian. Its likely he fought in the Revolutionary War. Check this. I read it a while back and was going to incorporated most of the stuff in but I not up to it anymore. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 09:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
